How is the factory battery cable routed in the newer truck/camaro if the starter is on the passenger side and the battery is on the drivers side? Something to think about... If the starter is on the drivers side, then all of my previous comments are pointless. Just curious how you'd do it, that's all.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I believe that cable runs from junction block mounted on the side of the alternator bracket down and around the front of the oil pan then back to the starter, on the passenger side of the engine.

Just finished reading the whole thread front to back and I've gotta say you do some amazing work. You've got a great truck and I can't wait to see it fire up again.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I would put the battery in the rt rear corner. It would help with weight transfer!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Wow! This truck has come a long way! Awesome! As someone with a LSx swapped truck, I can tell you that you will love it! ESPECIALLY since you are boosted! Woohoo! Vids ASAP!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I got some more parts in today. The Caddy tranny pan should give me about another inch or so of ground clearance. Also, I didn't want to use the Camaro plastic e-pedal, so I called John at Speartech and he recommend using an 05 and up Corvette pedal. So I picked up a brand new GM one off Ebay for only $50 shipped, . I should be able to modify my pedal mount that I got from ROKCRWLN to make it fit in the truck easily. Best thing is, the rubber pedal pad is exacly identical to the 71-72 Truck pedal pad!!!!!! I was able to pull the CST trim off of my old pedal and it fit on the new pedal pad perfectly

Re: 68 S/C update.....
That's incredible. I need to see what all is involved in switching my pedal over. I know the connector is different. Anything else special I would need to do?

Thanks Rus! Here's a few pictures of the mock up mount that I built out of aluminum. I just wanted to make sure I liked the pedal placement. Now, I'll build another out of 3/16th steel.

1 Do you have any "final" pictures of your shift linkage and what did you have to modify 2 Do you have any pictures of the back side of the pedal mod/were there any issues on the other side of the firewall or did you just use the original pedal bolts to hold it in (i observed a ~1/2" bolt at the top) 3 any final horsepower numbers I am starting a 6.0 ly6/6l90 from a 2009 3/4 ton and these are a few loose ends I am trying to iron out. Your knowledge would be much appreciated! This is one sweet truck. Mine will not be this nice but I am shooting for something in the same ballpark.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Thats awesome with the pedal. So cool the trim fits. Who would have thought 40 years later GM is still using the same parts! Well, not really but cool none the less!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I was wondering if you can show me how you routed your fuel lines from the frame rails to the fuel rails. I am having a hard time routing mine without the exhaust being a problem. Awesome work as always. Thanks Daniel.
